There are plastic baits, and then there are Zoom® baits. The difference is undeniable. Want proof? Just take a peek into your favorite tournament angler's tackle box, and start counting the Zoom bags. For those who lay it on the line every time out, there can be no other choice. Every Zoom soft plastic bait is wholly realistic, super-soft to the touch (for the extra action needed to pull that reluctant money fish) and salt-impregnated to hold even the most tentative bite.

Great bait perfect size
I have always used the 8" dead ringers for fishing deeper grass but this summer I found it to be great at flipping shallow cover. The ribs on the worms allow the bait to work thru the grass and wood cover because the ribs help hide the hook point.

GREAT CATCH
Recently finished third in a 2-day co-ed tournament on Ky Lake---fished both days with the Big Dead Ringer and caught all keepers on it (LOTS)...came in third place---GREAT bait! Highly recommend it. Tried a straight tail shakey head/finesse style and no results...switched worms and BINGO!!!

good quality bait
These baits don't tear up on 1 fish and the salt
impregnation seems to draw the fish. I highly
recommend them.

Great Worm
I fish almost everyday during my free time and i always make sure to one rod texas-rigged with a dead ringer. I prefer watermelon seed coloration. These work everyday and i consistently land 2-5 lb largemouth. GREAT WORM. STOP READING AND BUY!!!

Grew up trout fishing, but having moved to the south, I'm getting into bass fishing so excuse what may be a silly question. Are these baits good only in the spring-summer or can you fish them year round?

Start casting parallel to the bank as close to the water's edge as possible. Then work your casts out in a semi-circular pattern moving towards the middle of the pond or stream. As you get in deeper water let the bait sink to the bottom. If you don't get stikes then retrieve it at different depths an at various speeds. When you get strikes stay at that depth and speed.

The Zoom Dead Ringer and the BIG Dead Ringer are my go to Bait on Oklahoma Rivers Lake like Hudson Grand Its a bait that put a numbers of good bass in my bag it is the best at post spawn best on tree wood and long rock points with wood on it-- my wt 3/8 to 7/16 for the hi wind I do a dead stick technique with a jump for abour 10 ft and start over the hook 5/0 on the large Ringer and a 4/0 on the other RingerFrank

I would recomend ZOOM 4'' dead ringer, tomatoe color. i use this bait every time of the year. i have caught the biggest bbass of my life on this. fish it just like any other worm and you will catch fish, good luck

Really its up to you. Frogs work well in dark dingy water with a lot of vegetation on surface. Lizards are great on carolina rigs. But a brush hog or ribbontail style worm 4-6 in is a fail-safe all around bait. Texas, wacky, etc. I prefer Zoom or Powerbait.

In spring, I used a 1/8 oz. bullet weight, in shallow water. In late summer when the water is hot I will use Carolina rigged with a heavier weight around a 3-4 oz. bullet weight. I just about always use a size 4/0 hook.

2/0 hook and a 1/16 bullet on top. Texas rig. I have found the various pumpkin seed colors work good no matter where i fish here in GA. Caught 9 bass just yesterday fishing a small lake during a company picnic. Never been there before and caught the first on my second cast...
